CLOUD 9
by Janelle Monáe
This song is from the her first album (and first installment of the Metropolis series) "The Audition"—some-
times called "Metropolis: Point Zero".
NOTE: Most of the song only repeats two chords, Bm7 and Am7. Notice that each is not played with an equal
length of one(1) measure. Rather, Bm7 is played (almost) half a measure, while Am7 is played from there on
until the end of the next measure.
Key: G# Minor
Capo 4

[VERSE 1]
Bm7 Every five minutesAm7 checkin' my phone
Sittin' on the edge of my bed
Just to see if you caBm7lled Am7
See I been waitin' all day
Bm7 Lately I've been Am7actin' strange and things
Walkin' 'round like I'm in a trance
Singin' silly love soBm7ngs Am7
And that ain't me at all
[PRE-HOOK]
See I've Bm7tried toAm7 brush it off as just a silly Bm7game Am7
That young girls like to play
But as Bm7time movedAm7 on I knew my heart only beats for Bm7you Am7
See what I'm tryna say is
[HOOK]
You Bm7make me Am7feel
The way I felt when I first met you
And my Bm7soul got Am7chills
You Bm7make me Am7feel
Like I can't breathe without your love
And that's Bm7oh so Am7real
[VERSE 2]
See I Bm7never thought I'd fall in Am7love
A girl like me, it was impossible
And now I Bm7find myself in Am7love
Boy, you got my nose wide open
I Bm7can't beAm7lieve that you would be the one
Who would Bm7end my childish Am7games for good
[PRE-HOOK]
See I've Bm7tried toAm7 brush it off as just a silly Bm7game Am7
That young girls like to play
But as Bm7time movedAm7 on I knew my heart only beats for Bm7you Am7
See what I'm tryna say is
[HOOK]
You Bm7make me Am7feel
The way I felt when I first met you
And my Bm7soul got Am7chills
You Bm7make me Am7feel
Like I can't breathe without your love
And that's Bm7oh so Am7real
